Portcullis Perimeter Security - NSW Australia

Gallagher Security Management Systems is a global leader in perimeter security fencing. Over 60 years of experience in researching and developing the world's leading power fence systems has enabled Gallagher Security Management Systems to develop a total solution for organisations' perimeter security problems.

PowerFence™ solutions are founded on two core principles for perimeter protection:

Deterrence - deter anyone from attempting to break in or out.

Detection - detect attempts to breach the perimeter, PowerFence™ systems have been installed in thousands of sites worldwide. The reliability of these systems has been proven, time and again, in a vast array of applications. PowerFence™ systems provide a safe, non-lethal shock. The voltage on the fence is a high energy pulse delivered at 1.2 second intervals. Each pulse is typically 6-8 kV and lasts 300 ps (microseconds).

Applications include:

• Truck storage
• Car yards and storage
• Warehouse and distribution centres
• Manufacturing sites
• Self storage sites
• Retail sites
• Residential estates
• Telecomunications sites
• Gas, Water & Electricity utilities sites
• Petrochemical sites
• Airports & Harbours
